Sewage Treatment

Sewage treatment involves a multi-stage process to remove contaminants and pollutants from wastewater.

• Preliminary Treatment: Removal of solids and debris through screening and sedimentation.
• Biological Treatment: Use of microorganisms to decompose organic matter and reduce pollutants.
• Clarification: Separation of solids (sludge) from treated wastewater.
• Disinfection: Eliminating harmful microorganisms through chlorination or ultraviolet light.

How Clean is Water After Sewage Treatment?

The quality of water after sewage treatment depends on the efficiency of the treatment process and the specific contaminants present.

Following treatment, wastewater typically meets the following criteria:

• pH Levels: Within the acceptable range for discharge.
• Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD): Reduced to low levels, indicating minimal organic contamination.
• Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD): Represents the total amount of organic and inorganic compounds in water, which is also significantly reduced.
• Turbidity: Low level of suspended solids, resulting in clear water.

While sewage treatment significantly improves water quality, it may not completely eliminate all contaminants or pollutants. Additional treatment may be necessary for specific applications, such as industrial wastewater or drinking water supply.
